Burning the Bonds.

1t doesn't fall to the lot of every man to
destroy, 81, 500, 900 of bonds in one day.
Secretary L. N. Schwan, of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railway, had
that experience in New York city few
days ago. The bonds in this case were
required to be destroyed by the terms of
the railroad company's recent reorganiza-
ticss, and Secretary Schwann was glad to
un iertake the task; it would be an achieve
ment worth remembering when grandchil-
dren in years to come got to clambering
over his knee. So he summoned friend or
two with whom he was willing to share the
glory, and heaping up the engraved cer-
tificates on the vaults floor set match to
the pile, which rose four or five feet high
and was a dozen feet long. The match
didn't do the work. The parchment sheets
were packed too tight to burn. Alas, Secre-
tray SchwanI That which he had accepted
as . pleasure which he had expected to
consume possible half hour, took all the
day, for in no way could the flames be
coaxed to do their duty except by his dill
igence in feeding the blaze at the rate of
a dozen sheets at time. He went home
late at night the tiredest man in Wall street.
If the fire had got into securities that no.
body had wanted destroyed, philosophical

spark would have been enough to turn the
whole lot to ashes in jiffy.-New Orleans

Mr.. Evarts and His Auditor.

The president has described to friend
the circumstances Of shutting off Of Hon.
William N Evarts at the ceremony Of the
unveiling Of the BartAold statue 1t was
the most appalling noise that 1 ever heard
at any celebration" he said every fel-
low who had hold Of a bell or a whistle
cord appeared to be pulling with all bis
might and determined to be the last to stop.
1t seemed to me that the gestures made
from Bedloe's island to induce the whistlcrs
and bell ringers to stop was taken as sig.
nal Of encouragement to 60 on. haSl been
told that Mr.. Evarts had given instructions
that when he had spoken eleven minutes
the veil was to be dropped from the face Of
the statue When the eleven minutes had
expired the signal was given, although the
speech had not concluded. The din that
followed the dropping of the flag from the
face of the statue was terrific and pro-
longed. Mr.. Evarts kept on for q few
moments, his words inaudible to any one.
Finding that the noise was to be kept up
for an indefinite time, he turned to me, and,
standing only a foot away, he went on talk
ing while whistles, bells, and cheers kept
up an accompaniment. He got through
before the saluting steamers had ceased
footing. l think that am the only person
who heard that part of Mr.. Evarts' speech.
The situation was interesting, though con-
fusing, and suppose shall be pardoned if
admit that 1 havo no very clear idea of
what the gifted orator was saying. As good
luck would have it, the noises had entirely
ceased when it came to my turn to speak,
and 1 had little difficulty in making myself
heard by persons on the outermost edge Of
the throng before the platform. Cor.

AZTEC BELLE IN NEW YORK.

Making Chocolate for Visitors at the
Fair-A Beautiful Spanish Belle.
A prize belle from Mexico is on view here.
She is an exhibit in the Aztec fair. Fashion
able girls 90 In troops to see her, for they
have heard Of the tropical beauty of equa-
torial maidens, and they wish to compare her
with themselves. She makes chocolate for
the visitors She has clear complexion and
comparatively regular features. Her big
black eyes are half concealed by dropping
lids, and they glow with the languorous light
that poets rave about. An expression of sad
ness, or it may be discomfort, about her
mouth, invests her with imaginary romantic
interest. She has small, delicate hands and a
figure in which the promise Of future fatness
is not so obvious as in the other Greaser
maidens.
A swarthy young man, who plays guitar
and looks as though he might have a ready
stiletto somewhere about his person, hovers
around in an ominous way, and by his dark
looks discourages any demonstrativeneSs on
the part of the New York dandies who mani
fest unusual interest in chocolate making.
What Mexican girls are apt to grow into Is
shown in the older women Of the collection.
They are fat ungainly and wrinkled- The
swarthy skin looks leathery, and the dark
sonora of uncertain age is about as romantic
in appearance as an old bootleg.
The beauty on exhibition is forgotten in
the presence of q senorita seen occasionally
among the visitors She has the dark skin
and coal black hair of the Mexican, but the
oval face and delicate, regular features are
Spanish, with no traces of the Indian. Her
black eyes are sparkling and brilliant Her
f1p7Ire Is 1.-the and graceful, and all her
movements are easy and composed In
dress she is American. A large Gainsbor-
ough hat sets off her shapely head artistic
ally, and her wavy hair is dressed low upon
her forehead The fair Spaniard strolls
about the booths, stopping to talk with tho
Mexican exhibitors now and then, and un'
consciously attracting the admiring after
ton of the visitors. When she is preseLE
the nose of the Greaser beauty is out of joint.
The Spanish-Mexican beauty is relative OF
the Mexican consul here, and we are to re-
ceive her, understand, into our exclusive
society.-Clara Belle in Pioneer Press.

There is not good bed in North Ger
many, unless in some family of extraordin-
ary refinement or in the house of some for
eigner and made for his especial use. The
German bed seems to have taken for its
model the traditional military bed Of the
ancient rulers of Brandenburg. 1t repels
the intending occupant by its narrowness.
When he has placed his weary form upon it
he becomes suddenly conscious of the pro1-
unity of unyielding material and of hard
protuberances to his aching bones. The
covering is scanty. The pillows are 50 thin
that dozen of them scarcely raise the
head above the prevailing level of the mat
tress.
OF late years an effort has been made to
supplement the pillow and economic feath-
ers by sort of triangular bolster, which
comes down just far enough to torture the
shoulder and insure night of feverish rest
lessness, if not of agony. South of Dresden
the bed shows some glimmering signs Of
sense. The amelioration begins at Prague
and extends throughout Austria Hungary.
And yet the standard of education is said
to be higher in Saxony than anywhere else
in the world. The per cent. of suicide is
also the highest. The excess of suicide has
been attributed to the excess Of education,
but is it not barely possible that the Saxon
bed has something to do with the singular
tendency.-Dresden Cor. San Francisco

IN. 1nnar Man In Morocco.


Dining with the sultan of Morocco q
more of an honor than pleasure, according
to the account of q recent visitor connected
with the French embassy. The sultan is
even more of a spiritual than Q temporal
monarch, sort of crowned saint, ex-oflcio,
and therefore it is beneath his sacred dig
nifty to dine in person with his guests and
he deputies representative from his suite
The paiaoe also is too sacred q shrine to be
the scene of such festivity, and the dinner
is usually served in the garden Of the sum-
mer palace, outside the town of Fex. When
the narrator dined in this second hand way
with his sacred majesty the weather was
hot, and the dinner was served in a town
palace garden beneath orange, lemon and
pomegranate trees, where the buttercups,
corn flowers, and daisies grew so tall that
they mingled with the boughs, and the
guests had hard work to fight their way on
horseback to the table, or rather tray.
A drum major, like a steward with q
baton, headed the procession Of slaves bear-
ing the food on trays Of wood with deep
borders and conical covers of straw. The
removal of these covers disclosed fright
full spectacle of fricassees of sheep and
chickens, prepared with honey, sugar, syrup
and fruits, and all imaginable and un-
imaginable horrors possible to cook
cry. The only dishes which European
could eat was one of mutton (which
was terrible greasy and the conscouksou.
The slave who held this awkwardly spilled
1t into his sleeves and bosom, and then con-
scientiously turned it out on the plate again
This upset the European stomachs and de-
sire to indulge in it, though they found that
the slave knew etiquette. The proper way,
to eat concsoussou is TO take quantity in
the palm of the hand, eat it as best you
may, and return the remainder-for the
whole never will quit the palm-into the
common dish, lest the other guests should
be deprived of the choice delicacy.-The

Lakes Churned Into suds.

had heard much of the famous medical
Like, sixteen miles west of here, and so drove
cut to see it among the clouds of dust, gusts
IF wind and broiling sun alternately. The
trip out and back was pleasant, however, a
constant change Of scenery and succession of
surprises.
We found there were three lakes instead Of
one, all the same water, said to contain "lifeis
elixir" cure for all human ailments. No
doubt there are valuable properties in the
water, as attested by the analysis and the
numerous testimony of those relieved by its
use.
We were prepared for bath, but time and
inclination both forbid; time, because of the
inclination first to eat; inclination from the
presence of certain dead reptiles in the water
to be seen-a thing, as the attendant said,
"never before known"
said reptiles; these were at the bottom Of
the lake, which seemed half lizard, half fish,
with the fins of a fish, the arms of lizard,
the body of neither, with the fins of the tail
horizontal, instead of perpendicular as with
a fish, a sort of a mongrel, as like salaman-
der. In fact, these must have had peculiar
tenacity of life to have lived in these waters
at all, charged with salts as like lye, out of
which near by they were making soap. The
tiny waves of the lake had lashed the water
into foam; precisely in appearance as like
heavy soap suds, the frothy suds piling up in
some places foot deep or more.-Portland
